As soon as everyone was seated, the kitchen began to bring out the dishes one after another.

Lin held a large tray with four bowls of vegetables in a coarse porcelain bowl, all of which were stir-fried pork and cabbage, and one bowl was placed on each table.

As soon as it was put down, everyone was still courteous to each other, Qiu Niang also came out with a tray, and the second dish was fried green onions with pork lungs.

Then one dish after another was brought out of the kitchen, namely fried radish with meatballs, scrambled eggs with fungus, braised pork intestines, fried lung slices, fried bone, and ******simmered mushrooms.

On average, each person can get a large bowl of meat and vegetables, which shows that the Xie family is under the capital this time.

Xie Wang's and Hui Niang fried it quickly, and the food outside was even more hot, almost the moment the dish was placed on the table, eight pairs of chopsticks were pulled over together.

Everyone ate with a mouth full of oil, everyone moved their mouths, bowed their heads one by one, and didn't care about being polite to others. This wind-grabbing arm, such as years without seeing wine and food; That even flying chopsticks, when he is old, he doesn't have a feast and a banquet. One is sweaty, but he seems to have a grudge against chicken bones; Rub an oil on the lips and swallow the pig's fur with saliva.

It is no wonder that these workers are in such shape, they peasant families have never eaten such a sumptuous meal all year round, and the New Year's hospitality is only fried two or three vegetables with shredded meat for guests.

It's just that when you encounter occasional red and white ceremonies, you can eat a few meatballs and be considered a guest, where can you be so sprinkling?

Xie Qingshan ate a few bites, and hurriedly sent Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an to pour wine for everyone.

"It's been hard for everyone this time, I don't have any good wine and food, come on, let's all drink a bowl together, and bring ......it up," Xie Qingshan stood up and greeted the workers with a smile.

People also took the rice wine poured by Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an, stood up, smiled and touched it, didn't let a drop of the wine spill, and then drank it all.

"Qingshan, don't just remember to be polite, who has such a generous family, and will give the workers a banquet when it is finished!" Zhou Laomai gave a face-saving sentence.

All the workers said yes.

"It's just that the Xie family is so benevolent, look at this dish is full of meat, and it is also served in a big bowl, which is really good!"

"That's it, I've been doing things for more than ten years, and I've never seen anyone do things so realistically, and when the big bowl of meat and vegetables is served, I'm afraid the Xie family will spend a lot of money this time......"

"The fried vegetables are also delicious, and the sister-in-law of the Xie family is very good!"

……

Listening to everyone's gossip of praise, Xie Qingshan squinted with a smile, holding a wine bowl table by table, one person by one toast, everyone smiled and praised the Xie family's benevolence and righteousness, and Xie Qingshan, who had always been steady, was also a little fluttering.

His Xie family's ancestors have been in Gangshang Village for so many years, and this is the first time that he has such a face!

What do people live for? Isn't it just to make others look up to it and have face in front of others?

After this meal, whoever goes out has to call him Brother Xie, that is, to walk in other villages, those elders have to give him some thin noodles!

It's hard to live like this, what does it mean to live like that before?

As the old saying goes, one night is as poor as the earth, and once rich as the sky. Isn't that so?

Xie Qingshan drank a few bowls of rice wine in a row, and the world in front of him began to sway, and his heart swelled a little.

"Folks, after eating, we will settle the salary, and all the wages are on the old man and me! Just waiting to send it to the big guys! Xie Qingshan was a little drunk, looked at the workers at the four tables with dazed eyes, patted his bulging waist, and said loudly.

Everyone was even happier when they heard this, and the high hats were brought to Xie Qingshan one by one.

Several children in the kitchen were also eating around the stove, and the dishes on the table were set aside for them by the Wang family.

Xie Wang, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, saw the triumphant Xie Qingshan, and smiled at Xie Xuan and said, "Your grandfather has drunk too much, look at his bullish appearance, it's not like talking!" ”

Xie Xuan also smiled and said: "Finally, there is a chance for my grandfather to be in the limelight, let him show off!" ”

"No, I have to persuade him, the province's mouth is running away......" As he spoke, Xie Wang walked over and pulled her husband's arm, and whispered:

"You're dizzy with two taels of yellow soup? Don't talk nonsense in your mouth, so that others will listen to jokes......"

Xie Qingshan was dazzled, smiled, and said, "I know, don't look at me and drink a lot, I know it in my heart......"

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Xie Wang raised his voice and said, "Everyone, stewed vegetables and egg soup are boiling in the pot!" There are no bowls in our kitchen, let's put away the bowls and wash them later, and then slow down your stomach, eat a bowl of stew, and then drink a bowl of egg soup! ”

The dishes on the table were all eaten, leaving only some residual soup, and everyone had something in their stomachs, so they were not so eager, some slowly tasted the wine in the bowl, and some gossiped with the people next to them.

Hearing Xie Wang's words, everyone responded, and those who had eyes quickly stood up and took the initiative to collect the dishes.

There are also people who have drunk wine in their stomachs, and when they hear that there are stewed vegetables and egg soup, some people leave the banquet one after another to relieve their hands and release water to free their stomachs.

Xie Qingshan also felt that he had drunk a little too much, and his brain was dizzy.

He staggered up and went out, and walked towards the dung ditch at the back of the basement house, wanting to untie his little hands, drowning in a soak and sobering up.

As he walked, he was in a relaxed mood and hummed a little tune out of tune.

As soon as he turned the basement house, he vaguely seemed to see someone following him, and when he turned his eyes to see it clearly, he saw a big stick hit on the head, and his eyes were black, and he fell to the ground softly.

…………

The bowl has just been cleaned, and the people who went to relieve themselves have come back one after another.

Xie Wang's family served more than 30 bowls of stewed vegetables and asked Lin and Qiu Niang to serve them to the big guys to eat.

After eating again, until he had eaten all the stewed dishes, and served egg soup again, he didn't see Xie Qingshan come back.

Xie Wang frowned and said, "Could it be that you drank too much and fell drunk in the dung pit?" ”

Xie Xuan looked around at the workers who were eating, but she didn't see her grandfather Xie Qingshan, and remembered the appearance of Xie Qingshan patting his waist to show off just now, and suddenly felt a little worried.

"Let's go, let's go and find it, if grandpa is really drunk and falls in the dung pit, it stinks, grandma, you have to teach him a good lesson!" Xie Xuan forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and pretended to be relaxed.

So he and Xie Wang's family went to the dung ditch together, and after looking around, they couldn't see Xie Qingshan.

This time, Xie Wang and Xie Xuan were really panicked.

"Grandma, don't worry, let's go back and call those workers, and come out to look for them together, maybe my grandfather is drunk and doesn't know where he went......" Although Xie Xuan was uneasy, she still forced herself to calm down.

The two hurried back and told everyone about the situation in detail.

The matter was urgent, Xie Xuan didn't care about attracting attention, stood on a stool, looked serious, and said solemnly: "Everyone, my grandfather is not such a person who doesn't know the seriousness, and he won't make such a stupid mistake." Let's have some accidents, a group of three, eight directions, southeast, northwest, and then two groups to go to the basement house, and help find my grandfather together! Just a while later, my grandfather is still in Zhuangzi, so let's thank you all here......"

Letting people work in groups of three means supervising each other, and their Zhuangzi is also two miles away from the nearest village, and if something happens to Xie Qingshan, someone must have done it among the workers.

Everyone also knew that the matter was urgent, so they didn't say much, so they quickly dispersed to look for it.

Xie Wang's family was so panicked that he didn't know what to do, Hui Niang Qiuniang and Lin were also panicked, and they were about to go out to look for it together, when they heard a voice from the direction of the ground house:

"Found it! Got it! ”
